Killer locked up indefinitely

A “violent and despicable” man who bludgeoned to death his neighbour with a wood carving has been locked up indefinitely

Victor Osei, 41, had to be Tasered twice by police after he carried out the brutal attack on 62-year-old Anthony Higgins at the block of flats where they lived in Wembley, northwest London.

Image

Neighbours heard a cry of “no Victor, no” during the attack, and Mr Higgins was found lying in a doorway, covered in blood with serious injuries to his face.

Osei had used a wooden carving in the attack, inflicting injuries to the victim’s head, neck and chest, the Old Bailey heard.

Judge Richard Marks QC, the Common Serjeant of London, paid tribute to Mr Higgins as a “fine man” who was greatly loved and respected. Turning to Osei, he ordered that the killer is detained in a secure mental health hospital indefinitely.

“Doctors all agree at the time of the offences you were suffering from schizoaffective disorder compounded by substance misuse, namely cannabis.

“It is a very relevant consideration that for a number of months you had been non-compliant with your medication.

“It is evident from the violent nature of this attack when you are not well and not properly medicated you are capable of being extremely dangerous.”

Mr Higgins’ sister Claudette Brown said the family has been left “truly heartbroken” since the violent killing.

“We really struggle to understand why Victor would kill his friend”, she said. “We struggle to understand how this could have happened at all.”

The attack happened on September 12 last year, just a couple of hours after police officers and firefighters had been called out to Osei’s home to reports of smoke and a burning smell.

“Victor Osei was not cooperative with any of the emergency services who entered his flat and it was apparent that he was suffering from some mental health difficulties”, said prosecutor Oliver Glasgow.

“Despite the odd nature of some of the things that he said, (the PC) concluded that Victor Osei did not lack capacity and so no further action was taken at that time.”

    Osei had been described by a neighbour as “erratic, violent and despicable” who was prone to shouting and arguing, while another said he would “terrorise” people who lived in the block
Osei denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.

Moped gunman blasting victim

Detectives have released shocking footage of a gunman on a moped gunning down his victim on a north west London street

The 21 year-old was left with life-changing injuries after sustaining gunshot injuries to his back, hand and hip.

The attacker pulled up next to him and a friend in Cairnfield Avenue, Harlesden at 12.35am on August 24.

CCTV footage captures the suspect driving into the road from Neasden Lane and circling around before pulling to a stop a few metres away and switching off his lights.

The two men turn to look at the suspect but are unconcerned. The attacker then pulls out a firearm without warning and fires at the pair. The victim who was hit dives behind a car to take cover while his friend scrambles desperately to run away.

The rider fires a number of rounds before calmly driving away back in the direction of Neasden Lane.

Armed officers were dispatched but the shooter escaped. A police cordon was thrown up and a number of bullet casings were recovered by forensics.

The victim continues to recover from his injuries at home after being blasted at close range by the suspect, who was wearing a dark helmet and dark clothing.

Officers have released footage of the terrifying attack in the hopes it may jog the memories of people who may have been in the area before or after the incident.

Detective Constable Oliver Kotis, Specialist Crime, said: “I would urge anyone who lives in the area to check doorbell and dashcam footage to see if they might have captured this person in the area. But for sheer luck we could have had two people shot dead in the street; this could have been a double murder investigation.

“The suspect is a dangerous offender who has access to a firearm and we have seen that they are prepared to use it.

“It is vital that we catch them. Police and communities must work together to apprehend violent criminals who cause bloodshed and misery on our streets. Silence protects them - please, if you can help us, make contact. We will speak to you in the strictest of confidence.

“Alternatively, if you are someone that doesn’t want to engage with the police, you can use anonymous methods such as Crimestoppers - we will not even know your name. What matters most is that you make the call and help us catch a violent criminal.”

David Gomoh murder

David Gomoh was stabbed at least nine times

Four gang members have received life sentences for the murder of a "charismatic and intelligent" NHS worker who died in front of his family.

David Gomoh, 24, staggered home after being stabbed while on the phone to his girlfriend in Canning Town, east London, in April 2020.

He had no links to any gangs but was randomly targeted as part of a feud.

His death was part of a "petty but fatal game of one-upmanship" played out on the streets, the Old Bailey heard.

Image
(L to R): Vagnei Colubali, David Ture, Mohammad Jalloh and Alex Melaku

Muhammad Jalloh, 19, from Stratford, east London, and Vagnei Colubali, 23, from Cambridge, were jailed for a minimum of 27 years.

David Ture, 19, of no fixed address, was given 26 years and Alex Melaku, 18, of Telford, 21 years.

Melaku only became an adult one day before sentencing, meaning he has been identified for the first time.

All four defendants were also sentenced to concurrent terms for conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent to an unidentified man who escaped.

Judge Mark Lucraft QC, the Recorder of London, said the killers had carried out a "brutal murder" which had involved a "significant degree" of planning.

Mr Gomoh, a marketing graduate, who worked in procurement for the health service, had been in the "wrong place at the wrong time", he added.

'Devastating impact'

In a victim impact statement, his mother Marian said she was "haunted" by recurring nightmares about what happened, adding: "I felt numb, paralysed by grief and pain. Why David?"

She said the "psychological and emotional torture escalated" during the trial, as she listened to details of what happened to her "beautiful son".

She said her son's murderers had "walked uninvited into our lives and destroyed David's life".

The defendants have "wrecked our family", she said, adding: "Their contempt for a human life is just beyond comprehension."

His sister Lizzie paid tribute to her "fun-loving, amazing brother", adding that his death had had a "devastating impact on us all".

She said: "It still feels so raw and so fresh."

Referring to her brother's killers, she said: "I hope they will eventually show remorse."

Det Ch Insp Laurence Smith described it as a "senseless attack on a completely innocent man".

He said: "Despite the significant evidence linking them to this crime, all four refused to admit to their actions, meaning David's family and friends had to sit through a trial and relive the worst night of their lives."

Sharmake Mohamud 22 shot to death in Haringey

Police have released the above picture of a “kindhearted” man shot to death in Haringey as officers told the public: “We need help to get the gunman off the streets.”

Two others were injured including one man who police said was “riding by” the scene as the shots were fired.

Armed police and the London Air Ambulance attended the scene but Mr Mohamud was pronounced dead at just before 11pm.

Minutes later police were called to a north London hospital after a 24-year-old man self-presented with non life-threatening gunshot wounds.

A third victim, in his 20s, who was believed to be riding past the shooting as it took place, was identified at home in Edmonton. He was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

A post mortem examination conducted on Thursday gave Mr Mohamud’s cause of death as a gunshot wound.

His “traumatised” family are being supported by specialist officers, police said.

Four men, all aged in their early 20s, were arrested on suspicion of murder.

All four have now been bailed to return to police on a date in early October.

The organiser Faduno Abdulah said: “Sharmake got shot and lost his life instantly.

“Sharmake was a kindhearted, gentle and a selfless individual. We loved him dearly and he will be forever missed by a lot of his people.”

DCI Wayne Jolley, who leads the investigation, said: “We are investigating the brutal murder of a young man.

“This wanton act has left a family traumatised and mourning the loss of a loved one, while two more people have needed urgent hospital treatment.

“If you witnessed the shooting, have any information or were driving in the area and have dashcam footage, please call police. Your information will be treated in complete confidence and you can always call Crimestoppers if you do not want to give your name.

“Although four people have been arrested on suspicion of murder; I want the public to understand this is still very early in the investigation and I am sure further arrests will need to made.

“We need to take the gun and the gunman off the streets and I need the public’s help to do that.”

Chf Supt Superintendent Simon Crick, in charge of the North Area Command Unit, said: “This is a dreadfully sad loss of life and I understand how shocked the community will be.“

“My thoughts are with Sharmake’s family at this tragic time. I want the community to know that they can expect to see more officers in the area and to approach them if you want to discuss any concerns or share any information.”

Street preacher stabbed to death

‘Not in a gang. Not a drug dealer’ said a friend

A food bank volunteer was fatally stabbed as he tried to hand out leaflets for his church, his heartbroken friends said today.

Mohamed Issa Koroma, known as Chris, 24, was killed in a high street attack on September 17.

Now, in a viral Facebook post, friend Victoria Walker, has revealed that Mohamed was “handing out leaflets inviting people to church” when he was stabbed.

She described the death of the man who regularly helped out at his local homeless shelter, as “a horrific and sad tragedy”.

“During street evangelising he was stabbed,” she wrote.

“He was handing out flyers and inviting people to church.

“Not in a gang. Not a drug dealer.

“He did nothing but hand out leaflets and invite people to know God,” Victoria added.

He died despite efforts from paramedics called to the Sheffield High Street attack

Victoria added: “The family are still traumatised, distraught and in complete heartbreak.

“They have been barely able to comprehend the circumstances around his death and still trying make sense of it all.

“No parent deserves to lose a child in such circumstances.

“As a community, we’re still in deep shock and sadness.

“But we want to ensure we show solidarity, love and unity during this situation.”

Victoria said: “Mohamed regularly helped the homeless at the local soup kitchen.

“He was dedicated to helping the poor, sick, homeless and helpless.

“He had so much humanity.

“His name, story and life should not go in vain.”

To help Mohamed’s family with funeral expenses, an online fundraising appeal has been launched on the Go Fund Me website.

Detectives investigating the killingurged businesses in the city centre to check their CCTV cameras and motorist to look at their dashcams for any footage recorded around the time of the incident.

James Lee, 31, of Rotherham, has been charged with murder.

Brentwood: Two teenage boys killed

Eight men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after two teenage boys died

Essex Police said officers found three people injured after it had received a number of calls to Regency Court, Brentwood, at about 01:30 BST.

Two of those have since died, the force said, while the third was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Brentwood and Ongar's Conservative MP, Alex Burghart, called it a "very dark day for our town".

Police said they were "working to establish how the boys died" and post-mortem examinations would take place.

The BBC understands the boys are suspected to have suffered stab wounds.

Det Ch Insp Andy Clarkson, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "We understand there will naturally be shock and concern within the community after such a tragic loss of life.

"But, at this stage, we do not believe there is any wider threat to the public."

A neighbour said he had tried to warn police about anti-social behaviour in the area in recent weeks.

Mark MacIntosh told the PA news agency he had only just arrived home before he heard shouting and screaming coming from a nearby residence.

"I realise that what I heard was somebody yelling out in pain who may have lost his life shortly thereafter," he said.

He claimed the area had been dealing with problems which stemmed from a multi-storey car park that overlooks the scene.

"There's constant anti-social behaviour, drinking, drugs, shouting, fighting," he said.

"I've heard people saying 'I'm going to kill him' up there. I've come down and broken up a knife fight down at the bottom here before."

Mr MacIntosh said he had warned police "three weeks ago" that something bad would happen if they did not arrange "constant patrols" of the area.

Ch Insp Mark Barber, of Essex Police, had earlier said there would be a "highly-visible police presence" in Brentwood following the deaths.

"I am acutely aware that this incident will shock many within the community," he said. "My officers will be there throughout the day - they will be there to reassure you and keep you safe.

"If you have any concerns or information on the incident then, please, do not hesitate to come forward and speak to them."

Mr Burghart said: "This a very dark day for our town. My deepest condolences to the families of the boys who have so dreadfully lost their lives.

"I must urge anyone with any information to immediately share it with the police so that justice can be done as swiftly as possible."

Emmanuel Ogabi murder

Pictured man left to die overnight lying in street after Woolwich stab attack

This is the first picture of a man found stabbed to death hours after he was attacked by a gang of thugs in Woolwich.

Emmanuel Ogabi, 26, lay on the street overnight for hours dying from a single stab wound in Sandy Hill Road.

Police are appealing for doorbell or dashcam footage for when he was surrounded by a group of men at 11.40pm on Wednesday October 20.

He lay on the ground until someone reported a man collapsed in the street to police at 7.48am the next morning.

Paramedics and police rushed to Sandy Hill Road where Mr Ogabi was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post mortem found the cause of death to be a single stab wound.

The murder investigation is being led by Detective Chief Inspector Richard Leonard, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command.

Mr Ogabl is believed to have been attacked by a group of men a few hours before he was found.

DCI Leonard said: “We are specifically appealing for anyone who was in Burridge Place or Sandy Hill Road from 11.40pm to 11.45pm on Wednesday, 20 October.

“Analysis of CCTV footage shows Emmanuel was surrounded by a group of males and we would like to identify who they are.

“Similarly, please check any doorbell or dashcam footage in case you have captured something that could prove useful for our investigation. No piece of information is too small.”

There have been no arrests at this stage.

The family of one of the two teenage boys stabbed to death in Brentwood have paid tribute to their “champ” as a candle-lit vigil is held in the slain friend’s memory.

Essex Police named 16-year-olds Charlie Preston and Frankie Gater as the two boys who died after being knifed in Regency Court at around 1.30am on Sunday (October 24).

Charlie’s family said: “Forever our champ. Mummy and daddy love you.”

To remember each boy blue and green ribbons have been tied to the fencing of Central Park in Harold Hill.

Organiser Lacey Rigby said ahead of the event: “We need to come together in honour of these two young lads.”

One attendee said on Facebook: “So proud to be part of a loving community in Harold Hill. Big love everywhere for Frankie and Charlie, hope we did you proud boys. Sleep tight angels.”

A fundraiser has been set up for Frankie Gater which the family of Charlie Preston have donated to.

Frankie Watson, 19, of Baker Street, Orsett, appeared at Basildon Crown Court yesterday (October 28) charged with two counts of murder, attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon.

A 20 year-old man from Grays and a 21 year-old man from South Ockendon were arrested on suspicion of murder and have been released on bail to November 19, while a 40 year-old man from Brentwood has been released under investigation.

Michael Lavery

Knifeman who murdered ‘lovely’ grandad in random attack gets life in prison

A drunk knifeman who burst into the home of a “lovely granddad” and stabbed him to death in a random attack has been jailed for life.

Michael Lavery, aged 59, died on October 16 last year after being assaulted inside his home address off Reddown Road, Coulsdon.

Michael was found suffering head injuries and stab wounds by officers who fought in vain to save his life for half an hour.

A post-mortem examination gave cause of death as blunt force trauma and stab wounds.

Image

Patrick Beckley, 32, of no fixed address found by police and arrested near to the scene.

Detectives established that Beckley attacked Michael in a random attack with Beckley suspected to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time.

Another man was also attacked, as well as an officer who responded.

Beckley and Michael were not known to each other and no clear motive was ever established.

A spokesperson for Michael’s family said: “Our dad was an incredibly kind, generous, lovely man. He was a wonderful dad and granddad. He is missed terribly every day and will forever be dearly loved.

“We are grateful to the police for their thorough investigation which ultimately brought the offender to justice”

Det Sgt Jason Crinnion, of Specialist Crime South Area, based at Lewisham Police Station, said: “Beckley is a dangerous and violent offender and will now serve a substantial amount of time in prison following this horrendous crime.

“Michael was no threat at all that day. Beckley’s attack was random and violent and left Michael’s family devastated as a result.”

Beckley was sentenced at Croydon Crown Court to life with a minimum of 21 years imprisonment having been convicted at an earlier hearing of the murder of Michael Lavery, as well as actual bodily harm of two other men and assault on an emergency worker.

UK terrorism threat level raised to SEVERE

The UK National Threat Level has been raised from substantial to SEVERE – meaning an attack is highly likely

Many people - black and white - young and old - already live in fear as black gangs terrorise many inner city areas:

People fear break-ins, many living under siege with steel sheets or metal gratings on their door and grills on their windows - people are afraid to go out, especially after dark - food deliveries and taxis refuse to visit some areas - emergency services will only enter with police escorts

People are afraid of attacks on themselves and on teenage relations - but are afraid to come forward as witnesses for fear of the gangs:

Teenagers jailed for boy's
    shooting and stabbing death
A 14-year-old has been jailed for at least 16 years for murdering schoolboy Keon Lincoln, who was shot and stabbed outside his home

The 15-year-old was attacked by a group of youths on Linwood Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, in January.

A judge at Birmingham Crown Court lifted restrictions on naming the 14-year-old, accused of firing the fatal shot, as Yussuf Mustapha.

Three others were also sentenced for murder.

Tahjgeem Breakenridge, 18, from Oldfield Road, Balsall Heath, Birmingham and Michael Ugochukwu, 18, from Twyning Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, were both sentenced to life with a minimum term of 19 years.

Passing sentence, Lord Justice William Davis said Keon's murder had been "carefully planned and executed" using a revolver and a stolen car.

"It's quite clear that all who came from the car were party to the use of the gun," the judge said.

Keon's mother had been at home when her son was attacked.

"She heard the shots. She went out to find her son dying on the pavement. Not only has she been robbed of her son when he was only 15 but also she had to experience the trauma of watching him die," he said.

The judge added: "When a 15-year-old boy is killed in that way the first question will be why? That question has never been answered."

A 16-year-old Walsall youth also convicted of Keon's murder, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was ordered to be detained for at least 17 years.

Kieron Donaldson, 19, of Aston Lane, Perry Barr, was sentenced to a 12-year custodial term for Keon's manslaughter, having supplied weapons to those involved in the killing.

Keon's mother Sharmaine Lincoln called the convicted teens "heartless, evil monsters".

In a victim impact statement, she said: "I'm in a nightmare I cannot wake up from, my heart is broken without repair.

"I miss my boy so much, it physically hurts, I can only hope the day will come when the senseless murder of children will end."

The trial heard Keon was fatally wounded outside his home in a "short and brutal" attack on 21 January.

He was repeatedly stabbed by a group who chased him after getting out of a stolen car. He was then shot in the stomach as he lay on the ground, the court was told, and died two hours later at Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Prosecutors said a Ford S-Max, which had a false registration plate, was used. It was later involved in a crash on Wheeler Street, Birmingham, where investigators found forensic evidence including a hunting knife.

Detectives previously said it was not clear whether Keon had been specifically targeted or attacked "by chance".

But Lord Justice Davis said the lack of clarity did "not mean that the murder of Keon was motiveless". He said: "It simply means that neither the jury nor I have any notion of what the motive was."

Det Insp Jim Colclough of West Midlands Police said: "The fact that they've gone out, and carried such weapons, and have acted for a purpose that at the moment is beyond us, I can't comprehend.

"People of that age should not be arming themselves with weapons and going out with a view of causing either someone really serious harm or killing them."

The slaughter and fear continues

Jermaine Cools fatally stabbed in Croydon

Parents fear murder detectives have hit a 'wall of silence'

The family of a 14-year-old boy killed in south London nearly a month ago fear murder detectives have hit a "wall of silence".

Jermaine Cools was attacked near to West Croydon station on 18 November and later died in hospital.

His parents told BBC London they should be buying Christmas presents, but instead find themselves in a surreal world of seeking justice and evidence.

The Met confirmed no-one has been arrested and inquiries are continuing.

Jermaine is believed to be the youngest teenage homicide victim to be fatally stabbed in the capital this year.

His parents, Lorraine Dudek and Julius Cools, say they have described the last few weeks as "brutal" and spoke about a frustration of Jermaine's killers being able to "evade justice".

"The police have hit a wall of silence. There are a lot of people that know the identities of the people involved in Jermaine's murder - and there was more than one person.

"People know who they are and they are not coming forward with that information.

"You wake up in the morning and for a second you think that it wasn't real and then it hits you with the same amount of force that it did the day it happened.

"Jermaine was the life and soul of our house. Always running around, listening to music the house is now just empty and sad."

Jermaine was with his brother when they were attacked on London Road at 18:40 GMT.

The schoolboy took himself to hospital despite suffering multiple knife wounds but died 30 minutes later.

Det Ch Insp Richard Vandenbergh, who is investigating the murder, said: "Jermaine was a central member of his family, and his parents have been left devastated and without a son.

"At the very least, they are owed an explanation for why their son was killed, and police will continue to work relentlessly to ensure the people responsible are held to account."

Jermaine's father Julius says his son's killers would not have killed him had they known him

On London Road a shrine has been created for Jermaine, with numerous bouquets of flowers and handwritten messages left in the spot where he was killed.

His father said: "It feels like he is the next black boy who has been killed on the street and this is not right.

"Jermaine was everything to us, but there are people out there hiding and still living free seeing their family when I can't see my son."
